Change is in the Air

I believe that change is necessary in life, I am all for change.
Change is also very hard sometimes. My mother has lived in the same house for 13 years (since we moved here), and now she is moving.
It was a l ittle heartbreaking seeing my old room for the last time, telling the neighbours bye etc.
I think the hardest thing for us to all leave behind are the memories of Rachael.
It feels a little silly, because its "just a house", but for us it was a home, filled with love and laughter... and of course all our last memories of Rachael.
I haven't really wanted to admit this, but she has been on my mind.... A LOT.
Every time I have another baby she is especially on my mind. And with the babies middle name being Rachael, it is even more so.
I love being able to incorporate her into their lives, actually with Kaiden and Ethan they were both due on the day she died, they are our families angels, so is she.
When I was putting together this little set up for Baby Benham I had her in mind. Angel anything makes me think of her, so this was perfect!

I can never understand families that are divided over the silliest things. My family was close before, but after losing my sister you will never ever EVER find us disagreeing over petty things.
We love, accept, appreciate and enjoy each other every chance we get.
Seeing other families that do not appreciate each other saddens me, because I would do ANYTHING to get my sister back, and yet other families only argue and are bitter amongst each other. I find them to be very ungrateful for the people they have in their lives. I thank God everyday for the time he gave me with Rachael as well as all the family members I still have in my life because I know that they can be taken at any moment.
Anyway, enough of that... I just miss her, that's all.
We spent quite a bit of the weekend in the city. Believe it or not, in my 13 years here I have never been to the varsity.
I know all Atl-ians will be mad at me for this, but its totally over rated. Its just fast food- and Im not a fast food kind of girl.
The kids loved it though.

So many changes for 2012! Scary and exciting. Good luck to Mummy Bowen in her new house!!

This past weekend was our baby shower!! We decided to do it a bit early because I am one of those over-organized, over-prepared types. It was hosted by my best friend Kindle and my sister Bianca.

I told Kindle I wanted a slight winter wonderland pink theme since it is so close to Christmas and this is what I walked in to! It was absolutely beautiful, and we were joined by all our best family and friends, we appreciate everyone that made this such a special day for us.

This game was to guess how big I was and believe it or not the winner was Ethan!!
He definitely knows his Mummy! The chocolate diaper game. (It was Johns first shower, he must've thought we were all crazy). Getting ready for presents!! (The boys got to open them all). Kindle surprised the boys with a gift each.
It was a shirt with their picture saying "I'm the biggest Brother" and "I'm the big Brother" for the hospital.
Most thoughtful thing ever!!! I wish I could relive this day over and ov…

I can honestly say that I miss blogging. Facebook "memories" option has made me realize how nice it is to be able to look back at our family life and adventures.

I will (eventually) try and get caught up on the past few months, because we all know that I have photographed each and every moment, but for now I will start with Christmas.

We started shopping later than normal but managed to get everything done with time to spare to relax and enjoy the season.

Mummy came from England, I did not realize it but this is only her first Christmas with Amalia! We spent the day with great family friends, Peter, Debbie and their family. It has been a tradition for many years to do Christmas and/or Thanksgiving with them.

As per usual we had Santa Jeaux come and visit along with all the kids friends. It was such a nice reunion not only with our friend Santa, but the kids miss their friends dearly it is always a great occasion to get them together again. I appreciate all the other m…

I have promised the kids that once spring came around we can plant a garden since in our top back yard we have 2 big beds.
It was s a lot of work to clean out the beds it was full of debris that took us a long time to sift out, but it was oh so worth it!

I wish I had before and after pictures to show you just how bad it was, but I didn't think about it because I was in full on mission mode.

We still need to plant the second bed, it has been a bit rainy, and to be completely honest I am terrified of worms, caterpillars and snakes.

My community Facebook page has been posting about copperheads everywhere so I am hyper paranoid when I am out there, but I hope to get around to it soon!
